I’m Homeless: Glenn Carter

For every mat on the floor of the Interfaith Winter Shelter there is a story of loss, and a story of hope. This week we are speaking with experts on homelessness in Bloomington, those who have studied the causes and effects of homelessness through firsthand experience. All week we bring you first hand accounts from residents of the Interfaith Wintershelter, and those working on an alternate system once the shelter closes April 1st.

We begin our series with Glen Carter who attends weekly meetings at the Monroe County Public Library in a group effort to secure a shelter for those who need a place to stay April through November when the Interfaith Winter Shelter is not in operation. Carter’s addiction led him to homelessness, and his recovery has led him to advocacy.
